OPERAITON THEORY OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1. Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the

nature. But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating

purpose. The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to

microwave and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of

food is caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast

way.

2. There is 3 properties of microwave, that is

a) Absorbability: the microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule of various food so as to obtain

the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depend on the size, thickness and properties of

the food.

b) Penetrability: microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperature-resistant plastics. It is

required to use the containe

rs whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating

result. Please see the below utensils guide.

c) Reflectivity: microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an

even magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.

INSTALLATION OF MICROWAVE OVEN

1) To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the back of microwave to the wall should be at least 10 cm,

the side to the wall should be at least 5cm, the free distance above the top surface at least 20 cm.

2) The appliance should be operated with the rear side placed against a wall.

3) Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.

4) The position of the oven shall be such that it is far from the TV, Radio or antenna as picture disturbance

or noise may occur.

5) The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

6) The microwave oven

is intended to be used freestanding and shall not be placed in a cabinet.

To keep the microwave oven at a distance from the wall, it is necessary to install a distance limiter

UTENSILS GUIDELINE

It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking.

Generally speaking, the containers which are made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic are suitable

for microwave cooking. Never use the metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking

as spark is likely to occur. You can take the reference of below table.

Material of container microwave Grill Combi Notes

Heat-resistant ceramic Yes No No Never use ceramics decorated with metal

rim or glazed

Heat-resistant plastic Yes No No Can not be used for long time microwa

cooking

Heat-resistant glass Yes No No

Grill rack No Yes Yes

Plastic film Yes No No It should not be used when cooking meat

or chops as overtemperature may do

damage to the film

FOR THE FIRST USE

As there is manufacturing residue or oil remained on the oven cavity or heat element, it usually would

smell the odor, even a slight smoke, It is normal case and would not occur after several times use, keep

the door or window open to ensure good ventilation. So it is strongly recommended to set the oven to grill

mode and operate dry several times.Operating dry can only be conducted in the grill mode, it can not be

conducted at combination mode

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliance:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Make sure the voltage in your living area corresponding to the one shown on the rating label of the

appliance. And the wall socket is properly grounded.

3. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook the food.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in the oven.

c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep drying as the temperature of oil cannot be controlled.

d. After use wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by dry cloth to remove any food

splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.

e. If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and

disconnect the power supply.

f. Close supervision is necessary when using disposable containers made from plastic, paper or other

combustible material.

4. To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:

a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered

to be sealed containers.

b. When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the

end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

c. Potatoes, sausage and chestnut should be peeled or pierced before cooking. Eggs in their shell, whole

hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after

microwave heating has ended.

d. The cooked liquid should not be removed out immediately. Several moments should be waited before

removing In order to avoid possible hazards caused by delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

e. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is

to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

5. Never operate the oven further if the door or door seals are damaged or the oven is malfunctioned or

supply cord is damaged. Return the appliance to the nearest authorised service center for repair and

maintenance. Never try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.

6. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified

technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.

7. After cooking, the container is very hot. Using gloves to take out the food and avoid steam burns by

directing steam away from the face and hands.

8. Slowly lift the furthest edge of dishes cover and microwave plastic wrap and carefully open popcorn

and oven cooking bags away from the face.

9. To prevent the turntable from breaking:

a. Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.

b. Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable.

c. Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.

10. Make sure the utensils do not touch the interior walls during cooking.

11. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could

adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

12. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

13. Do not store food or any other things inside the oven.

14. Do not operate the oven without any liquid or food inside the oven. This would do damage the oven.

15. This appliance is not intended for using by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

2) Cooking time

Start cooking with the shorter period of time and extend it according to the actual need. Overcooking may

result in smoking and burning.

3) Cover foods before cooking refer to the recipe

Use paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a cover to cover food so that prevent spattering and help

foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).

4) Partial shielding of food

Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.

5) Stir foods

From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

6) Turn foods

Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.

7) Rearrange foods

Please change the positions of food in half way during cooking such as: from top to bottom and from the

center of the dish to the outside.

8) Allow standing time

After cooking ensure adequate standing time. Remove food from oven and stir if possible. Cover for

standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

9) Check for doneness

Observe the food color and hardness to determine whether the food is cooked. Doneness signs include:

-Steams throughout food, not just at edge part.

- Joints of Poultry move easily.

- Pork and poultry show no evidence of blood.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
